I help run a pilot-scale facility that does precision fermentation, downstream processing, commodity separations, and more. We support large (pilot) scale research and development for hitting TRL milestones. We also have 30-40 student interns and are actively recruiting students to our lab and programs. Two graduate programs of interest: Professional Science Master’s in Bioprocessing & Bioenergy and a Professional Science Master’s in Food Science Human Nutrition with a Specialty in Synthetic Biology for Food Applications.
